Hong Kong Could Be Big Winner in Stock Connect Program

Hong Kong’s financial industry is set to profit from a landmark stock-trading program between the city and Shanghai that will not only boost trading flows, but could also attract more listings from Chinese and foreign companies.

The trading link starts Monday and allows global investors to easily buy shares for the first time in Shanghai. Chinese investors will be permitted to purchase stocks in Hong Kong.
